How can you use the Westone3 as smartphone headset (i.e. to place calls)? Can you replace the cable or buy an accessory?

For me it is just a earphone without mic on the cable. Of course the cable is replaceable but I doubt if there is a product that you can find, to use it for a phone call.

I use this thing just as a very high quality and very compact headphones for my wife, who does not like big headphones

You use the earphones to listen and just hold your phone up to your mouth to speak.The westone 3 don't have replaceable cables. The new 3R models have replaceable cable and you may be able to find a cable with a mic built in.

I just purchased this phone, and am having the same problem. It is especially frustrating because I bought this phone specifically because it has a headset.

I bought an adapter like:Consumer Electronic Products Smartphone Headset to PC Adapter - Use a 3.5mm iPhone/Smartphone Headset With Your PC, Converts 3.5mm Plug to Dual Mic/Audio 3.5mm, for Skype/VOIP (01-PH35-PC35) Supply Storeand it works perfectly.

You would need a usb adapter. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0058P0I2C/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1397657361&sr;=8-9π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70But I don't recommend this headset. It's not very loud and the mic is awful, even at max settings.

Hi, I never saw that problem. Can you answer the call from the phone and use the headset? You only need to quickly tap the multifunction button to answer the call or hang up. Too long can turn it off. If you are doing it correctly and it still turns it off, ask for an exchange before time runs out. Hope this helps.

I don't see a headset jack on the handsets at all. The was a time long ago that I would have looked for that but never thought about it when I bought these. I don't think you can pair any type of headset to these phones. The retro handset has no purpose that I can think of, aside from maybe trying to sell it on ebay, if I can remember where I put it.

Do you mean the headset or the handset? There is a procedure to initially connect whichever it is. have you tried that? it's in the instruction manual. I can't specifically answer your question.

U can go to headsets.com and get one that is compatible several different options I have had one since 04 that works great w different phone. However this is not Bluetooth so regular wireless will not work with this phone

Not this Westone 3, if you want to have removable cable, then I'd suggest you to use Westone 4R. It is rather expensive but it is well worth investment :-)

I believe you can't if you just have the base and no additional handsets. It's useful to think of the headset as a substitute of the the corded-handset of the base. The're mutually exclusive. For more information I suggest you call RCA's customer support, I've called twice and they've been really helpful.

Try the TV Ears web site. I believe they offer replacement/extra headsets without the need to buy the base station.

Just checked there is a protected port on the side of the hand set. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Let me know what you're able to pick up as a headset.

If you want to use the stereo analogue input on the transmitter and also have chat functions, you need to use the transmitter's chat-out or mini-USB port to output voice. Of course, you'd need some kind of splitter to set that up with a phone.The 3-ring cable is actually for connecting the headset directly to your phone, in which case it acts like a standard wired headset (without needing to be powered on) and your phone should work with the headset's mic.

Hey Shoe Envy, this is Nina well you can repurchase the headset and base again from Amazon. Or you can call the manufacturer that makes this phone as ask them about getting a replacement. If you still have the manual find the number to the manufacturer and give them a call. Nina

Hi, I too got the same question since this is an important info missing in the technical details and top reviews.. However when I checked all the reviews here , I saw two customers wrote of having been able to connect headset with this fone. But the most helpful to me was this : "I use a headset for handsfree work but the problem was that could not connect both cell and headset simultaneously. Thus, could only answer cell calls with handset or landline calls with headset. Get most of my calls to cell number so it was a big inconvenience to lose the headset/handsfree."
